non-permissible values of x would be those that make the denominator of the rational expression equal 0.



solve for x to determine them.

i got 6X^2=5/-13 but i dont know what to do next.




Also in a unrelated question.

in the translation y=1/x to y=1/X-3 +4 is the translation 3 right and 4 up?

it's rather obvious that you do not know how to solve quadratic equations.

go and learn how ...
